Morning Fail

I woke up this morning, went outside to my garden and picked two jalapenos, a serrano and a few tomatoes. I washed the vegetables, washed my hands. I went back out and played with the neighbors dog that we are pet-sitting. I washed my hands. I roasted the peppers and chopped the tomatoes and some onion. I washed my hands. I peeled and chopped the peppers and washed my hands. I combined the chopped ingredients in a bowl, added salt, pepper and lime juice and washed my hands. I took the rest of my limes and made lime ade. I washed my hands. I went into the bathroom, washed my hands, brushed my teeth, washed my hands and put my contacts in.Find the mistake in the preceding paragraph. Would you say

You wrote "serrano" peppers when it should have been "cerano"

Both "woke up this morning" and "went outside to my garden" contain redundancies and too many extra, superfluous words

You left the cilantro and garlic out of the salsa

You forgot to take your medicine to treat your OCD hand washing problem

You left the gin (or tequila) out of the lime ade

You used tomatoes and peppers which have been linked to salmonella

Peppers and tomatoes are the fruits of their plants, not vegetables.

You put your contacts in after handling peppers and limes instead of before.
